Just the fix I was looking for without downloading extra software. Spot on. Thank you.

My 2TB USB was showing 120MB of available space with nothing on it. I actually had found these exact instructions written out on google but didn't feel confident in knowing which drive was the USB so I had asked my partner for help to delete the extra partition. He fiddled around with it for 2 hours doing everything other than the instructions I had found, before telling me I should just give up and toss it because he had deleted the extra partition but the wrong drive amount was showing 😭 I knew there had to be another way! Turns out the way I was originally going was actually the correct one and I should've just trusted myself! Thank you SO MUCH for this; such a lifesaver!

I spent 48 hours straight at my pc trying to fix a really rare issue, thank you so much man

This actually made the risk of creating linux boot drive or installation disk a complete no risk endeavor. Thanks.

Exactly the thing you need after you're done using a USB drive to install Ubuntu. Thank you!

You are the best. Very few videos on KZfaq are as straightforward as yours. I accidentally deleted the partition on my drive and this fixed it! Liked and subbed.

This is one of the most important videos I have watched this year

WOW!!!!!! Thank you Your Six and You Tube. I was done using it for a recovery disk and took out the wrong partition and killed my 1TB USB. Less than 4 minuets of help and "Bam" we are back in business. :)

You are a legend, thank you. So many "free" disk cleaners/ partition editors that will only scan for free and it was this simple...

jeez why arent yo famous?!! i just found this video in accident because for some reason the extra space in flashdrive was not being used. This was a big help. because my pendrive suddenly stops when its about to reach its capacity. THANK YOU!!!!

Sir, thank you for sharing this video. You have helped me out. My 128Gb USB stick was showing only 32Gb in properties. Recently it had been out to a friend for file sharing and lately in my smart TV. I followed all the steps that you clearly demonstrated and my USB stick now has full capacity again. Many thanks. All the best, Martin

you just lifted a ton off my shoulder,thanks friend.

I failed to convert my flash drive to ntfs. Then it became useless. Your tutorial is very easy to understand. Thank you so much.

AWESOME, You're a lifesaver. At first I it was a 250G USB Flashdrive After a while only 32G was available Watched this video and - like - a - magic - I now have 250G back to normal Make more vids, your help is very much appreciated

This tutorial is so amazing! Thank you so much!

Just what I needed. Quick and easy directions, Worked perfectly.

Just bought an OTG drive and I found out that device is corrupted, was about to lose hope until I watched your video and it really helped me a lot to fix the issue. Liked your channel and you got me as a new subscriber. More power and subscribers to your KZfaq channel. Thanks and God bless. 🙏😊

i have this problem with my USB FLASH drive for almost a year, with the help of this video my USB FLASH drive is FIXED. thanks a lot sir

Oh my god thank you! This is the only working tutorial I found and I was so scared my USB wouldn’t work anymore!

Thank you so much man, I've been struggling with reformatting my USB after using it as a boot drive for Linux

when i typed in "create partition primary" and checked my storage it still shows 9MB instead of 16gb someone please help

ok, so i think the original capacity of my USB has been overwritten. because i have a 256 GB, and now it only shows 3.74 GB.

That was very helpful, Thanks Tim!

Best video Straight to the point and everything done step by step A big thumbs-up 👍

FINALLY!!! MY USB HAD 14GB FREE SPACE BUT COULD NOT COPY A 3GB VIDEO. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Thanks buddy. I really appreciate it. Keep helping the community. Cheers !

Bless you! This little tip also worked for me to clean an old laptop HD that had Cloudready Chrome OS installed with a dozen or more partitions on it. Used the command line from the bootable Windows media in the repair section of installation. It worked and let Windows Media continue with the install. Thank you sir!

Thank you very much from my heart i almost thought that my usb will never get back thank you bro i really appreciate

YES FINALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH, I recently flashed a iso of archlinux onto my usb drive but I never seemed to be able to install it due to computer issues and stuff like that so when i tried to use it obviously the usb didnt work because a iso was flashed onto it, I didnt know how to clean my usb without damaging anything and when I tried to open it it came up with errors all over the place, thank God this worked! 100% better than other tutorials out there.

Thank You! I searched for a whole week to turn my USB back to normal because, I had used it as an ISO Flash to install ChromeOS Flex! Thank You Again. The only video that worked!😀
